So Suzy Stamps April Release Blog Hop

Posted in April 2015, Blog Hop, So Suzy Stamp Release, So Suzy Stamps Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here with So Suzy Stamps. Welcome to the full reveal and blog hop of So Suzy Stamps April Release!! If you arrived here from So Suzy Stamps blog, then your on the right track. If you arrived randomly, the blog hop starts at So Suzy Stamps blog. Yuu don’t want to miss out on any of my design team members cards. They did a fabulous job.

Check out the card I created for this hop:

I used the Girl on the Swing Stamp to create my card. This little girl is so cute. I had to take my time and color her.

I have to admit I messed up just a little bit. Instead of using my new MFT Hybrid Black Ink or my Memento Black Ink, I used the VersaFine Black Onyx and stamped my image.

Big no, no! The black ink bleeds. When I realized what happen, I was already to far gone with my coloring. I just took my sweet time and tried not to touch the stamped edge.

That was hard to do. The image is so intricate that I had to get really close. Never again will I make that mistake!!

In any case, she turned out well. This card is a very CAS card. Your attention is drawn to the girl on the swing.

Here is how I created this card:

1. I cut my cardstock to 4.25 x 5.50 scored at 4.25.

2. I used Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circle Die to cut out my circle off of the side of my card front.

3. I stamped my So Suzy Stamps Girl on the Swing image inside the circle cut out.

4. I used Copic Markers to color my image:

Dress, shoes and antennas: V01, V04, V06

Winks: BG11, BG13, BG15

Swing Bench: E13, E15

Swing String: C3

Skin: Eoo, E11

Hair: E33, E35

5. I attached Stampin’ UP! Coastal Cabana Bakers Twine to the top of my card.

6. I added Your Next Stamp Crystal Clear Gumdrops for added interest.

7. The sentiment is from Your Next Stamp Whatnot Sentiments Set.

I did a sneak peak of one of the new stamps a couple of weeks ago. Check out that card here.

Easy Peasy!! Now its your turn to play along with us! Oh wait, I didn’t tell you what the new challenge will be this month!!

Happy Birthday…

Posted in Birthday Card, March 2015 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today to share a birthday card I created for a customer of mines.

She needed a birthday card for a friend of hers that is turning 40!!

She didn’t give me any direction or colors that she wanted me to use so I had free range!!

Since her friend was turning 40 I wanted the card to be fun and bright but I also wanted it to be elegant.

So I went with my new Penny Black Petals Die!! I love this die, its so pretty!!

Take a look at my card:

Oh how I love these pretty colors in the background. Distress inks always saves the day!

Here is how I created this card:

1. My card base is cut to an A2 size card (4.25 x 5.50).

2. I used masking tape to mask off the top portion of my card so that ink doesn’t transfer on to it while I’m blending.

3. I started with Distress Ink Picked Raspberry, then Shaded Lilac, and ended with Spiced Marmalade. Doesn’t it look like there is a hit of green in there. I love how colors blend with distress inks!!

4. I die cut the Penny Black Petal Die cut and tons of foam pieces to the back so that the panel will not shift of come off.

5. I used Your Next Stamp Whynot Sentiment Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment in Versamark Ink on black cardstock.

6. I sprinkled Hero Arts White Embossing Powder on the sentiment and heat set it.

7. I die cut one of the buttons from Papertrey Ink Button Stacks Die out of another blend piece of cardstock.

8. I added Your Next Stamp Black Gumdrop for added interest.

So what do you think? I hope the recipient likes this card as well.

Happy Birthday Surprise!!!

Posted in Birthday Card, Blog Hop, So Suzy Stamps Design Team by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m excited about this blog post today. Today is Suzanne’s Birthday!! Who is Suzanne, better know as Suzy, you asked? Well let me tell you!

She is the owner of So Suzy Stamps and she has no idea that her Design Team is throwing her a Surprise Birthday Blog Hop.

This is the first stop on this hop!! I’ve listed all of the participants at the end of this post just in case you miss a stop! Each of the design team members created a birthday card for Suzy to show how much we really appreciate her.

What is a blog hop without some prizes!! We are giving away a $15 So Suzy Stamps Gift Certificate and a free one month subscription to El Atelier de Stampartpapel to 2 lucky winners who leaves a comment on each of the blogs for a chance to win by February 22nd, 2015 by 11:59pm. The winners will be chosen at random and announced on Monday, February 23rd at 12noon on the So Suzy Stamps Blog. The winners will have 2 weeks to claim their prize.

Now onto the card I created for our fearless and super fun leader:

I went with black and white because I love this elegant look. This picture doesn’t do this card justice. The Wink of Stella pops on some parts to the card that isn’t captured in the photo.

This is how I created this card:

I cut my black card base to an A2 size card (4.25 x 5.50). My card panel is cut to 4 x 5.25.

I embossed my card panel with the Happy Birthday Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel with foam tape.

I used Simon Says Stamp Stitched Squares to cut my small white panel. Then I used that panel as a guide to cut my smaller black panel.

I stamped the Swirl So Suzy Stamp Medium Cupcake with black ink. I added a Denim DoubleClick Skittle as the topper.

I added a random strip of ribbon to my card front. I attached the smaller panels on top of that ribbon.

I added Wink of Stella to random places on my card.

Easy Peasy!! I hope Suzy loves this card that I made just for her.

So what do you think? Will she like this card?

The Muse this week is Marion Vagg! Take a look at her card:

Here is a look at my interpretation of her card. I must warn you, my die cut doesn’t match up equally with my balloons. I’m not sure what happen but I like it just how it is.

Take a look at my card:

Count Me In…

Posted in Lawnscaping Challenge, November 2014 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today playing along with Lawnscaping Challenge 94: Count Me In!!

This challenge asked us to use numbers somewhere on our project! Boy was I excited to see this challenge. I have so many Lawn Fawn numbers stamp and dies that I’ve haven’t used yet. I was excited to pull them out.

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve had so much fun creating tags and gift boxes. So for this challenge I wanted to do the same.

I create two tags for this challenge. The first one I created yesterday before I even knew about the challenge. I wasn’t sure about this tag because I felt like something was missing in the top right hand corner. So I put the tag down. After seeing the challenge this morning I decided that I will add a number to the corner.

Take a closer look:

Look inside:

What do you think about this tag?

For my second tag, I wanted to use my die cuts to cut out the number and use he negative space. I really love how this tag turned out as well.

SSS Wednesday Blog Challenge – Happy Birthday Card 1

Posted in April 2014, Birthday Card, Blog Challenge, Clean and Simple by Kreative Kymona

Simon Says Stamp is celebrating 5 years of challenges and they wanted to see some Happy Birthday/Birthday Celebration Creations!!

I love the month of April because I celebrate my birthday too!!!! As a matter of fact, today April 4 is my birthday!!

So for the challenge, I created a couple of cards that I will post separately. The first card is a black and white Happy Birthday card that I think is really simple and classy.

Take a look:

The stars have a Wink of Stella glitter that is hard to see, but its there. I used SSS stamp and die along with Mama Elephant’s background stamp set.

Shhh! I have a secret!

I tied some bakers twine around the bottom of the large balloon but it didn’t look right after I added the smaller balloons so I just tucked it underneath the smaller balloons since I couldn’t take it off.

Please leave a comment below, I would love to know what you think.

Supplies Used:

Classic Crest Solar White CS

Birthday Balloons

SSS Balloons Craft Dies

On Point Borders

White Baker’s Twine

5 Days of Birthday Cards – Day 1

Posted in Birthday Card, February 2014, Non-Stampin' Up! tool by Kreative Kymona

I was looking through my stash of cards and I realized that I was really low on birthday cards so I’m going to have a series of birthday card to showcase. I will make 5 different birthday for this series.

Today’s card is a male’s birthday card. I love the colors and the shapes that are on this card. I’m using a lot of different products on my card that are new in my craft corner.

Take a look:

The horizontal stripes were made with a new die cut from Papertrey Ink called Stripes Horizontal. When I was finished with the front of the card I was wondering what will I add to the inside. And here is what I decided.

Take a look at that. Can you believe I made such a big mistake!!!! I could not believe it. I wasn’t paying attention and stamp the image upside down. How could I??? What was I going to do? At first I decided to just not show the inside but I really want to use this card so what can I do to fix this mistake. Take a look at how I made a come back.

I decided to use what I learned in the Insiders class and brought the front of my card to the inside of the card. All I did was turn the square image 90 degrees for a different look. I just love it!!! The card came out so nice.

My mistake caused me to really pull from my creative hat and it made the card pop.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do. Just click on the images below if you want to purchase them.
